In this brief video, Jim Yong Kim, president of the World Bank Group, explains that even with 800 million people going to bed hungry, countries can end hunger by 2030. But they need to create systems that raise agricultural productivity in rural areas, improve nutritional outcomes, and invest in more climate-smart agriculture that can withstand a warmer planet. Unfortunately, the covid epidemic, the demise of USAID, and other factors ensure that hunger will not be ended by 2030. (World Bank Group, Future of Food; 2015; 1’22”)
